NHL Thread

Shanahan is the only person who looks good in those emails. He sounds like a professional and rational man in the way he told the league to reduce fighting.

The grammar on this board is better than most of those emails...

[BTS]

Every time I think the NHL has reached rock bottom it breaks through that floor and hits another level. What an embarrassing mickey mouse league.

its stuff like this that makes me feel even better about having Shanny run things for the leafs. kinda sucks for the entire game itself that he's only working for the leafs now though. could help out a lot more if he was still in the NHL head office. i don't know who cold take his place either. bettman is probably just gonna let this die down even though this is a YUGE opportunity for him and his legacy*.

 

*i use the term legacy loosely since he is quite possible the worst commissioner in any sport ever. Goodell's coming on strong but he doesnt have the experience necessary yet. Plus Bettmans probably got many more lockouts left in him. when in doubt, lock 'em out

How lame are the playoffs shaping up this year? No Canadian team, Chicago vs Washington final already booked.

Leafs secure their second 1st round pick... I mean, the Pens secure a playoff spot!

Now it's time to cheer for the Pens to lose the rest of their regular season games and get knocked out in the first round.

Stamer out 4-12 weeks with a blood clot. Eeekkkkk.......

The Lightning are f***ed.

So who misses the playoffs... Boston/Detroit or Philadelphia?

 

Philly has a game in hand... and the Bruins are struggling, I say the Bears come up short, especially if the Wings beat the Bears tonight.

[JG34]

One more regulation loss for the Leafs guarantees them picking in the 1-4 range depending how the lottery goes.

Easy peasy, we'll lose to the Flyers tonight and Jersey Saturday, both on the road.

[bones10]

Ya'll from the 6 still hate Boston right?

 

Well here is to my Redwings hopefully beating them tonight and clinching their 25th straight playoff appearance.

 

LGRW!

Bruins need the Flyers to lose their next 2 games, they're up 2-1 on the Penguins.

The Bruins need f off and die.

Flyers are in.

Watch them drop Julien and replace him with Mike Milbury.

Leafs have the best odds of landing the number one pick this draft!

The fix is in for Arizona. Mathews is a local boy and it's a struggling franchise.

Fold the Coyotes. Send Matthews to Buffalo and let him and Eichel REALLY save a franchise. The New Penguins!

If there was ever going to be a fix, it would've been last year and not sending McDavid to Siberia.

[Spanky99]

Yay Leafs, please let us win something good.

I think the Leafs should pull a Dodgers and trade for Datsyuk's final year of his contract. Take the salary and cap hit and acquire a couple assets (one draft pick and one or two prospects) for taking on the contract.

Someone will probably willingly take on his $7.5M cap hit / non-salary in order to meet the floor. I doubt there's any opportunity to get assets.

Kadri and Rielly both signed 6-year deals worth $4.5M AAV & $5.0M AAV, respectively. That was fast!

Holland has said he won't be trading the cap hit. Something about loyalty and not wanting Datsyuk to ever be part of another org.
